NZ Tax - IR10 Form - Update Box 60 label to 'Total value of Investment Boost asset(s) being claimed' to match Inland Revenue guidelines
Currently the IR10, Box 60 says 'Investment Boost Claimed', but this is misleading as the amount that needs to be entered is the value of the assets which are having Investment Boost claimed.
The IRD's IR10 Guide calls Box 60 'Total value of Investment Boost asset(s) being claimed'.
Please change the name of Box 60 to match the IR10 guide. This will make it easier for users to enter the correct amount.
15 votesHi team, we appreciate your feedback here and want to share that this update has now been released.
In IR10 Box 60 is now called “Total value of Investment Boost assets(s) being claimed", both within Xero Tax and on the file when printing.
Thanks again for sharing with us here.

New Manual Journals - Search and select Tracking Category
The new manual journal entry layout does not allow for quick selection of a tracking category using keyboard shortcuts (number or letter). The old layout allowed me to press a key, like "2" & all tracking categories that contained a 2 would come up. The new layout forces the user to manually scroll & find the tracking category. Guys, i have Clients with 40+ Tracking Categories. What is going on? Improving things doesn't just mean make it look shiny & change things. It means actually making things better. Why would you take a key search feature away that saves time?…
4 votesThanks again for raising this with us in Xero Product Ideas, Sal. I'd like to confirm that our team have made an update in the new manual journal experience and it's now possible to type to search and select the tracking option within your tracking fields. 😊

Xero Analytics - Ability to share dashboards for the date range set and not revert to current month
I quite like the dash board feature and shared it with some clients. However, when they click on the link, it rolls over to current period. It would be good to either integrate this with reporting or allow a dashboard to be saved so it can be shared to show data at a point in time
14 votesHi team, good news! We'e updated this feature in Xero Analytics, so you can now share a dashboard on any fixed date.
When clicking "share dashboard", you have the option to select either a rolling date (which will always revert to the current date and automatically roll at the end of a period) or a fixed date (that'll show the dashboard according to the exact selected date).
We really appreciate hearing how this feature would be beneficial to your use of Xero Analytics, here. Thanks

Xero Analytics | Reports - Customised by variable accounting periods
Create Syft Analytical reports & Dashboard customised by accounting periods. Our company doesn't follow Calendar months- so it will be good to compare and analyse reports based on our accounting periods and not calendar.
12 votesHi team, there is now the ability to generate dashboards for the current financial year, within Xero Analytics. Within Xero, you can now access this from the Reports Menu within the Analytics section.
Select a "Monthly (financial year to date)" option from the date selector. This will show your totals and the number of months per graph, according to your financial year.
Worth noting that this capability is also available within Syft as a standalone product.

Cash flow Manager - Calculate vat liability
It would be good if Xero could use vat charged on invoices and spent on bills to calculate what the predicted VAT is for that quarter and add it into cash flow manager - rather than this needing to be added manually
1 voteThanks for sharing with us here, Belle. Cashflow Manager in Xero Analytics will show your organisations predicted tax payment. You can find this under Recurring Cash Out. Check out my example image 😊

Company Accounts (UK) | Add option to show Company Authentication Code
We have been using the New Financial Accounts FRS102 IA template in Xero Business. Here are our feedback notes. In case anyone else is having the same issues.
When filing you can not recheck the CAC code as it's got to vision allowance.1 voteHappy to let you know this has now been solved too, Francisca!
When you're ready to file the accounts to Companies House there's a show/hide toggle on the Company Authentication code field.
By default the text is hidden, so you can toggle the view on with the 'eye' icon if you want to confirm the code's correct before submitting. 😊

Single sales report - for the sales team
Single report for our Sales Team that will show:
Sales MTD vs Target (Month by Month YTD)
Number of Invoices by Month
Avg Value of Invoices by month
5 votesHi team, returning to this idea we now have Xero Analytics in which you can use the Business Health Scorecard to compare your monthly sales, to a set target.
You can also display this as a widget on your Analytics dashboards, to visually compare your monthly sales to the target line.

Navigation - Move GST return to Tax
Can GST returns be under the tax tab (not sure where it is but it isn't there or under reports; currently under accounting tab/ reports).
5 votesHi team, we really appreciate your feedback and getting to know the new navigation.
We want to confirm with the Tax menu in Xero's new navigation GST Return will be available, or the relevant Sales Tax report for your organisation's region (e.g Activity Statement in AU, VAT Return for UK).
As you can with favoriting reports, it'll also be possible to favourite and show this report from the Reporting menu if you choose.

Financial Settings - Shorten financial year
Ability to shorten a financial year end on Xero without messing up reporting.
E.g. when a company's financial year end is shortened from 30 June to 31 December so there is a 6 month transition period needed.45 votesSorry we've not updated on this idea sooner.
We've now added the ability for you to create a short transition period (between 1 - 12 months long) when changing the Financial Year End date within your organisations Financial Settings.
To confirm the work in this space - Aligning with the UK basis period reforms we've made a change to Financial settings in Xero, so you can add start and end dates to different periods.
This change impacts multiple areas of Xero;
- Fixed assets will draw on this information, to prevent any loss of historic information when your year end changes. Everything will automatically be calculated for you based on the period start and end dates you set in Financial Settings.
- The same story will apply in Reporting. All historic reports will be protected. And you’ll have accurate comparison periods even across varied financial years.
- In Xero Tax, you’ll…

Short term cashflow - Option to include draft invoices
Option to include draft invoices in the short term cash flow
11 votesThanks for supporting the idea here, everyone. You may have started exploring our new Analytics cash flow manager tool 😊 - Though we don't have plans for developing the older short term cashflow to include draft invoices, with cash flow manager you can select to include draft invoices in your cash flow view.
By default, draft bills and invoices are deselected, however from the Manage cash in tab you can click the Table options to check and include these.

Profit and Loss - moving annual total (MAT) option
Ability to generate Profit and Loss reports that show each month what the moving annual (12 monthly) total (MAT) is, so that an understanding of trends to income and expenditure items is over time.
Purpose: Users can see the trend behind the immediate or current year number
1 voteThis should be possible with the ability to add custom Date columns in the reports layout editor, Geoff.
It does require a bit of manual set up, however you could add columns for say 1 Jan - 28 Feb, 1 Jan - 31 March and so forth so you can see the accumulative total across months.

W-9 - Integrate sending with Gmail
Xero doesn't have a built-in option to directly integrate with or automatically use Gmail for sending W-9 requests. That would be really helpful ~
2 votesIt sounds like you're referring to the Request W-9 window, Reuben? You should be able to set up Gmail as your default email app on the device you're using. If this isn't opening Gmail by default you may want to check your device's settings.

Changing subtitles on reports when changing the year end
Changing subtitles on reports when changing the year end.
When shortening the year end, eg with Basis Reform periods, the year end is showing incorrectly as 'year end and the original year end date' rather than period end and the new year end date. It would be great to have the flexibility to amend subtitle dates within reports so that the accounts can be produced straight from Xero.5 votesHi team, sorry we haven't caught the idea here sooner. Listening to feedback we know the sub heading was a bit of a confusion point for organisation's with a longer or shorter FY.
We've recently made a change so the subheading will now read 'For the 'x' months ended' so the report will be more accurately reflected.
Thanks for your sharing on this with us here.

UK Payroll - New Starters and Leavers payroll report
Joiner and leaver payroll report
A report to show who has joined and left within a certain period
63 votesHi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback and voting on the idea for a UK Payroll report showing new starters and leaver dates.
We wanted to let you know that we have recently released an enhanced Contact Details report for UK Payroll. This is currently being rolled out to UK payroll customers.
As part of this enhancement, we have added 11 new columns to the report, including Start date and Termination date, so you can easily identify employees start and end dates.
Thank you again for helping us understand the need for this improvement and for continuing to shape Xero.

Check Register Report
New to be able to run a report to show checks paid out each month, sortable by each bank account. Date - Payee - Check Number - Transaction Amount - Status (Reconciled / Unreconciled), Total dollar amount of checks written for the month, as well as total dollar amount of checks unreconciled for the month. It would be nice to have the voided checks fall to the bottom as well. I have attached a copy of one I make in excel every month since Xero doesn't have this report.
3 votesThanks for sharing a screenshot of what you're after, Lauren. This is the same detail as what can be retrieved from the Checks register in Xero, and if needed you can Export your check register to CSV to be able to use this outside of Xero.
While it's not possible to filter or sort the order of checks based on Status, if desired you could use the CSV outside of Xero to sort your checks register.

set balance sheet default date to "today"
The Balance Sheet currently defaults to the last EOFY date, which as at today (posting this suggestion) is 9 months ago. this is frustrating as you usually look for the figures as at now, and not the end of the last financial year. This functionality changed in one of the recent product updates. I know we can change the date and re-run the report, however it seems silly to default back to the end of the last FY and is a waste of time to have to do this always.
1 voteHi Jo, from the Balance Sheet there is a common date format for 'Today'. Once selected you can save the report as Custom and make this the default if you'd prefer.

Activity Statement - Ability to dismiss ATO outage notification
I appreciate getting a notification of a future ATO outage but I'd like the ability to dismiss it; I've already checked the dates and confirmed it won't affect me, but it stays on the page while completing the BAS.
1 voteThanks for your feedback on this notification banner, Shannon.
After a quick check in with our team on this, I'm pleased to share they've made a small change so you'll now find it's able to be dismissed!

Reporting - Profit and Loss format to show EBITDA
Can we please have a few new GL Account categories so that the P&L can be printed in the standard format to show EBITDA, EBIT, Profit before Tax and Profit after Tax.
Should be a fairly simple addition to the available categories, to add Interest, Depreciation and Tax as categories would enable this.
This could also help with the enhancement of the Cashflow Reports.29 votesHi team, we've now introduced Xero Analytics in which you can achieve what you're after here.
With the Business Health scorecard you can create EBITDA and EBIT metrics.
In addition, you can exclude these accounts in your widgets on the Xero Analytics dashboard as well as in the visualisations.
We appreciate and thank you for your interest of this with us here in Product Ideas.
